INTERIOR fitout company Amicus Interiors has been appointed to deliver the new Stellar call centre in Maroochydore that will inject 200 new jobs to the market once completed.

The 1500sqm call centre is expected to help stimulate the local economy during construction as well as ongoing employment.

"We believe that the completion of the new Stellar facility will be a catalyst for further growth in the area and will help ease the unemployment rate that is currently higher than the national average," general manager of Amicus Jason Williams said.

The Sunshine Coast Regional Local Government Area has a population of just over 316,000 that generates more than $12 billion a year.

"The Sunshine Coast economy has been very dependent on the tourism, retail and construction industries, but it is now looking to diversify. Professional services from the finance and insurance sectors are being drawn to the area and the Stellar call centre is an excellent example of this expansion into new markets," Mr Williams said.

Currently in the design and procurement phase, the call centre will be located within the new Maroochydore Homemaker Centre on Maroochy Boulevard.

The centre is anchored by Harvey Norman, Domayne, Nick Scali and Joyce Mayne.

The level one fitout will feature: 200 workstations and a generous breakout area with recreational lounge and training room facilities.

With a tight timeframe in place, Amicus Interiors is expecting to complete the project by mid-December, with Stellar employees able move into the space in January when the site goes "live".
